Kuwait Bar Association has taken part in inaugurating the Spanish-Arab section at the Madrid Bar Association, in a crucial step aimed at boosting cooperation between Spanish and Arab lawyers.
Abdulrahman Al-Tahous, the deputy chairman of the Kuwaiti association, said in an interview with KUNA that he had taken part in the inauguration ceremony, noting that only the Kuwaiti society, from among identical Arab bodies, was present at the event. Personnel of the new division will work out a joint task schedule with the Kuwaiti association and organise courses for expertise swap and broadening the cooperation between the two sides, Al-Tahous said.
Al-Tahous, a member of the new body, had addressed in Arabic the ceremony, organised last Wednesday, with the presence of 150 Spanish lawyers. He shed light in his speech on history of the Kuwaiti Bar Association, founded in 1963. He also noted that it groups 5,000 attornyes representing 15 per cent of the force working in the private sector.
